Aaah! Thanks a lot! That is what I suspected. That raises a subsidiary
question, though: in case (at the rasterization stage) the width of
the stroke evaluates to an odd number of pixels, what happens? Is it
"undefined" (in the C sense), i.e., implementation-dependant, or does
the spec have something to say on this? The Java convention has the
advantage that it unambiguously dictates a particular implementation.

I think whoever wrote the Java docs is right on this: it _is_ useful to
think in terms of a virtual pen to understand what happens, esp. in this
calligraphic context.
